This mural is relatively new and replaces this one posted a year ago. The tone in this one seems a little less tranquil than the previous one. I don't know what it means, but intuitively it feels like it has its roots in mythology. Found on International Blvd. in East Oakland. Could not find a name for the artist although I suspect it's right in front of me if only I could read the font.

Jayne Cortez was a jazz poet who died at the end of 2013. You can feel the rhythm in her words. This mural was found on International Blvd. in East Oakland, a beleaguered part of town.

A local carpet store creates these mini murals for various holidays or special events. I thought this one was pretty funny.

Yeh, I know it's the year of the Monkey. But I couldn't find one. Besides, dragons are always found at the Lunar New Year parade. Right? Anyway, thought this window decoration was pretty fierce and fun to look at. Happy Year of the Monkey 猴年吉祥 Hóunián jíxiáng.
